Thing is, they only just understand what they have now. And they're in the middle of a larger life project, for which cutting off email access RIGHT NOW with no more than SAME-DAY notice would effectively kill the project stone-dead and potentially leave them in a *terrible* financial mess.
Sure, as the email from MS points out, they *could* continue to collect emails from the web client until the upgrade has been completed. But that's *another* thing to learn at a time when they're least able to put time or mental power in to processing that kind of change.
From a technical perspective it really annoys me that a simple email service needs sufficient upgrades both to server and OS/client just to deliver electronic mail, for which standards for doing this sufficiently securely and efficiently have existed for *years* now, and seem to be followed by just about every other service provider on the planet. Even Apple's iCloud service I *think* has eventually got over itself and eventually allowed standard IMAP login from non-Apple clients.
We'll work out a solution – but this whole thing leaves a very bitter taste in the meantime, especially for those of us who just need to coach our users to get things done, because they don't have the time and brain-space to keep pace with *everything* going on in tech world and why it's shaped that way.
We in tech world would do well to put the users and tasks first for a change.
- The long-running archiving project has hit a significant milestone – I've now digitised as much of the physical media as I can. Limits are set now by condition of the incoming media, and whether or not it's really worth digitising 4 or more decaying copies of the same thing when we already have better copies of the same thing elsewhere. The only reel (!) exception is a set of reels for a particular project whose magnetic layer fell off as soon as the reels were unpacked. No way is that worth spending money to preserve further given the age, obscurity and potential value of the content, not least the hardware value to retrieve it once the media itself has been restored. Shame, but commercial sense has to come into it somewhere along the line.
- Now have a DIY automated process for holding an in-DAW mix (working in REAPER) at -23dBLUFS or thereabouts, which greatly simplifies things for radio and podcast production. Even if I only use it for monitoring or other less critical work, it's an amazing time-saving tool.
- Obviously this means it can be adapted for -16dBLUFS or any other value as needed.
- It's *really* not pretty for a number of reasons – most bothersome to me is that it presently works in stepped values, somewhere around 10 updates per second – rather than more smoothly applying gain or attenuation.
- For high-end stuff, I'm still happy to do final levelling by hand as it does tend to sound better, but that does add time to any given project.
I've been using lossless audio compression as a matter of course in my audio workflow for a while, and not just for end-distribution. Services like Bandcamp and Soundcloud support uploading in FLAC format, and many clients happily accept ALAC (Apple Lossless) or FLAC in place of traditional uncompressed WAV or AIFF formats.
As for long-term storage and archiving, I've switched to FLAC for my projects, and have back-converted most of my catalogue. But why FLAC?
- The reduction in network bandwidth and storage requirements is always nice.
- It brings the possibility of checking the project audio files for errors via the FLAC checkum (applied at the time of creation) against how the file decompresses in present-day.
- This can show up problems with "bit-rot" on disk storage that would otherwise remain hidden. It's a useful alternative to deploying ZFS-based file systems and keeps storage and network kit at an affordable "prosumer" level while such technologies mature a little longer, and hopefully come down in cost too.
- If I find a problem file? Fine – restore from a good backup. But that does rely of course on having good backups, and the corruption not being carried into those!
- It's an established format that many, many software applications can read, across a wide variety of operating systems – and given the number of websites springing up offering "audiophile" digital transfers of consumer audio material based upon the format, I have good confidence that software to read and write to the format will continue to be developed for some years ahead. And if not, it's still easy enough to batch-convert files to whatever format replaces it.
Cons (none unique to FLAC, I notice):
- Reaper is my DAW of choice, and exporting large projects out to FLAC is time-consuming as it still doesn't multithread FLAC exports for projects.
- While Reaper *does* support (in version 5.111, at last check) recording directly to FLAC and other formats, recording to anything other than WAV or AIFF on my systems has consistently thrown up audible glitches in the recorded material. With some sample-accurate editing these can be fixed, but still not acceptable.
- What I do therefore is to record to WAV/AIFF first, then save the project to FLAC before any significant mix down happens.
- Not every DAW supports FLAC natively, or at all. But then, for me this is a moot point – not every DAW can read project files from every other DAW, so this is just a part of that wider picture. You pick your tool for the job and deal with the consequences.
- Conversion takes time, especially offline for large projects.
So – that's a quick brain-dump of how I'm working with this stuff and why. I've missed steps and I'm sure others will be quick to pick holes in it.
I suppose my question to anyone else reading this with sufficient interest is… What is everyone else doing? What file format would you pick, and why?
I've been using my Revox B77 with various audio interfaces and operating systems for a while, and this week I've restarted tape imports for a long-running project that needs to come to a final conclusion – at least on the ingest stage.
Various factors, not least compatibility with Mac OS X El Capitan, have forced me into using my Presonus Firestudio Project as the analogue-to-digital converter for this stage. It's not ideal for a number of reasons, but it gets a job done, without too many sonic compromises (especially when compared with the vagaries of the source material) and so I suck it up and move on with life.
One important thing has come to light this time around though… My B77 *really* doesn't like feeding Channels 1&2 at line-level, which are labelled as "instrument" (presumably Hi-Z, high impedance) inputs. Its output preamplifier runs out of headroom rather quickly and ends up giving horrible clipping, especially with the outputs wound up to give something approximating "line level".
Plugging into any other channel line input (3 through 8) does reduce the recorded signal level as seen by the DAW software, but also gets rid of this clipping. Lesson learned.
I'm left wondering if this is an expected quirk of the B77 electronics, or whether it's a quirk of my specific machine? I don't (yet) have time to go poring through manuals to find out for sure – but I can't say this result surprises me!
Still – onward and upward!
So here is a quick "faders-up" preview of "O Holy Night", as performed at All Souls Church on 12th December at Christmas Praise – what a stunning event that was!
Credits as follows:
- Composer: Adolph Adam
- Singer: Constantine Andronikou
- Orchestra: All Souls Orchestra
- Conductor: Dr Noel Tredinnick
- Because there's such a huge dynamic swing between loudest and quietest parts of the piece (some 20->40dB depending which metering standard one uses), I've approximated what I *would* be doing with faders by using compressors. The result isn't yet "pretty" but it is functional – at least enough until it's decided whether further work will be done!
- Though I helped provide the technical links between live and recording "worlds" for this event, I'm not actually involved in producing the radio mix.
Yup – thought I'd dip my toes into the waters with a new single, out on Bandcamp! Really pleased to have been able to work on this despite the year that's been. Two new bits of kit have come out to play for this one: Caustic3 on the iPad, and a Revox B77 that I've been primarily using to do tape restorations, notably for a certain Christian orchestra. But of course, I *had* to see what it could do with recordings too!
I'd love it if others could support me and the wider range of non-mixing work I do, so here's your chance!
Some background…
I've commented on this blog before about the possibly questionable quality of some digital remasters released of late. Common subjective complaints in online fan and hifi forums, made myself both here and among friends in person, are that some particular remasters might be too loud, too bright, and/or otherwise "overdone" given what we know or perceive of the original source material. There might well be various artistic or marketing-related reasons for this, so I'm not here to argue for or against these issues.
Further complicating the issue for me, both as a fan and a professional, is that many of these stand-out features are seen overwhelmingly as positive things by many fans, whether they are technically correct or not. It would seem that a combination of perceived increase in detail and volume outweighs any issues of listening fatigue or known certain deviation from the presentation of the original master.
I've embarked professionally on remastering and restoration processes and have learned, from the coal-face so to speak, much of the reality of what's involved. To onlookers it appears to be a black art – and believe me, from the inside, it can feel a lot like it too! Sometimes I'm asked by a client or a reference-listener how or why I made a particular decision; and in some cases, especially those without actual technically verifiable information or logged conversations to go on, I have to go out on a limb and essentially say something to the effect of "well, because it 'felt right'", or "because it brings out the guitar *here*, which really flatters the piece" or some other abstract quantity. At this point I just have to hope the client agrees. If they don't, it's no big disaster, I am rarely emotionally tied to the decision. I just need to pick up on the feedback, do what I can with it, and move on. Looking at the process, I guess that's partly why the word "abstract" appears in my trading name!
"Okay, so you know a bit about this from both sides, on with the subject already!"
There are two particular commercial albums in my digital collection, both hugely successful upon their original release, whose most recent remasters have bothered me. It's not fair to name and shame them, especially not while I await confirmation from engineers/labels that my hunch is correct. Anyways – I'm bothered not because they're "bad" per se, but because I bought them, took them home, and from the moment I first heard them, something about them stood out to me as being not quite "right" from a technical perspective. One of them (Album A) was released in 2001, and another (Album B) that was released earlier this year, in 2015.
What these two albums have in common is that their tonal and dynamic balance is *significantly* different to the original releases, beyond the usual remastering techniques involved with repair, restoration and sweetening of EQ and dynamics carried out to sit alongside contemporary new releases. The giveaway is that the top-end is both much brighter than usual, and much more compressed – and the result is unnecessarily fatiguing.
Where the two albums differ, then:
- Album A has not suffered from the "loudness wars".
- Its overall dynamics are relatively untouched compared with the original.
- It appears, looking at the waveform in a DAW, that the album material has been normalised to 0dBFS (so it fills the maximum dynamic range CD has to offer), but it rarely hits such high levels.
- Album B however, despite never having been a "loud" album on original release, has suffered from the "loudness wars".
- Looking at its waveform, it's clear that it has been maximised; this means that the material has been both compressed and limited such that the original dynamics have been squashed and gain applied such that almost the entire album waveform hits the 0dBFS point.
- As a result, the album has lost its previous tidal ebb and flow, and while arguably some details are indeed much more audible than before, it no longer has the organic subtlety it once did. Important instrumental details get masked and actually reduced in level as louder ones come into the foreground, because with that much compression going on, there's nowhere else for them to go except lower in level.
- Sure, it'll play better on an iPod while travelling on the London Underground, or in the car, so it might open up a new market that way – but for the rest of us perhaps looking forward to a better quality transfer to listen to at home or anywhere else, we don't get that choice.
- I've heard the 2015 vinyl re-release of the latter album, and it seems to not have the same issues – or if it does, nowhere near to the same extremity. There are likely good technical and human reasons for that, but that's an aside for another post.
Experiment 1: Treating the common issues
Last week I had some downtime, and a hunch – a dangerous combination.
Neither album was famed in its day for brightness, except for the singer's sibilants in Album A causing vinyl cutting and playback some serious headaches if alignment wasn't quite right. Album B does carry a lot of detail in the top end, but being mostly synthetic, and certainly not a modern-sounding album, the spectral content is much more shifted toward low-mid than anything we'd be producing post-1990. So there will be some sheen and sparkle, but it should never be in your face, and never compressed.
Such clues told me two things: first, that Dolby A was likely not decoded from the master-tape on transfer; next, that in the case of Album B, further dynamic compression has taken place on top of the un-decoded material.
So – out came a Dolby A decoder, and through it I fed a signal from each album in turn, bouncing the decoded signal back into my DAW for storage and further analysis of the decoded signals. Now please understand, it's hard (if not impossible) to get a correct level-alignment without getting the test tones from the master tape, but those of us in the know can make some basic assumptions based on known recording practices of the time, and once we know what to listen for, we can also based on the audible results, especially if we have a known-good transfer from the original tape to work with.
All that said, I'm not claiming here that even with all this processing and educated guesswork, I'm able to get back to the actual sound of the original tape! But I am able to get closer to what it ought to sound like…
The result? Instantly, for both albums, the top-end was back under control – and strangely both albums were suddenly sounding much more like the previous versions I've been hearing, be it from vinyl, CD or other sources. Album B's synth percussion had space between the hits, Album A's live drums had proper dynamics and "room" space. In both albums, stereo positioning was actually much more distinct. Reverb tails were more natural, easier to place, easier to separate reverb from the "dry" source, especially for vocals. Detail and timbre in all instruments was actually easier to pick out from within the mix. To top it all off – the albums each sounded much more like their artists' (and their producers') work. Both albums were far less fatiguing to listen to, while still delivering their inherent detail; and perhaps some sonic gains over previous issues.
Experiment 2: Fixing Album B's over-compression
First things first – we can't ever fully reverse what has been done to a damaged audio signal without some trace being left behind. Something will be wrong, whether "audible", noticeable or not. But, again, an educated guess at the practices likely used, and an ear on the output helped me get somewhere closer to the original dynamics. But how?
Well, it was quite simple. One track from the album has a very insistent hi-hat throughout, that comes from a synth. If we assume that synths of the time were not MIDI controlled, and likely manually-mixed, we can assume that it should essentially sit at a constant level throughout the piece, barring fade-in/fade-out moves. And listening to an "original" that's pretty much what it does. But neither in the clean nor my "decoded" version of the later album does it do so. It drops up and down in level whenever the other pads and swept instruments come and go. It was more noticeable on my "decoded" version, but with the frequency and micro-dynamic blends being so much more pleasant, I knew that I'd made progress and the way forward was to fix the compression if I could.
Out came a simple expander plug-in; Inserting this before the Dolby decoder, and tweaking various settings until I was happy that the hi-hat was sitting at a constant level throughout my chosen reference piece, restored dynamics to something like the original, and returned that hi-hat to something much closer to a near-constant level as the track plays. In the end, we get something like a 6-9dB gain reduction, and the waveform looks far less squashed. And sounds it, too.
The trick then, was to listen to all four Albums, A, B, A restored, B restored, at similar overall loudness levels, and see which works better. So far, in this house anyways, we're happier with the restored versions, even including those who are unfamiliar with the artistic content.
Prologue – Is this a mistake? And if so, how could it have happened?
When dealing with remasters, especially for older albums, we typically go back to playing analogue tape. There are *many* things that can go wrong here at a technical level. We're worrying about whether the tape machine is aligned to the tape itself, both tape and machine are clean, and that the correct noise reduction technology is used, whether we're actually getting all the information we can off that tape.
Then there is a human element. I've lost count of the number of times even in my small sample, where I've encountered a DAT or 1/2" reel labelled as being pre-EQ'd or Dolby-encoded with some system or another when in fact it wasn't. Then there are other similar labelling and human errors I've encountered; Perhaps it wasn't labelled as being Dolby-encoded and it really was. Or perhaps the "safety copy" was actually the clean master and the "master copy" was actually the cruddy "safety" with a 10dB higher noise-floor recorded at half-speed on lower-grade tape on an inferior machine that we know nothing about, with the channels swapped randomly due to a patching error in the studio.
Technology, and technicians, like the kind of questions and answers that have defined, logical "0 or 1", "yes or no", "is this right or is this wrong?" kind of answers. Unfortunately for us then, when dealing with music, as with any other art, and so then dealing with musicians, producers and other artists involved with the music creation and production process, we soon find that the lines between "right and wrong" very quickly get blurred.
As an engineer, I'm also all too aware of the dichotomy between my *paying* client (usually the artist), and my *unpaying* client (the listener). Most of the time these are in agreement with what is needed for a project, but sometimes they're not. The usual issue is the one of being asked for too little dynamic range – "can you turn it up a bit so it sounds as 'loud' as everything else?" and the resulting sound is fatiguing even to me as the engineer to work with, let alone the poor saps who'll be invited to buy it. Sometimes I know that some sounds simply won't process well to MP3/AAC (that's less of an issue these days, but still happens).
Anyways – all that to say -if these albums both suffered the same mistake, if indeed it was, then even without the myriad artistic issues creeping in, I can see how an unlabelled, undecoded Dolby-A tape can slip through the net, and blow the ears off an artist or engineer who's been used to the previous released versions and get people saying "YEAH, LET'S DO THAT ONE!"
User comes to tech, tech solves problem, world moves on. Yawn.
Some months ago, I helped with a project to help move someone's large archive of digital photographs and clipart to Google Drive. That was easy enough in itself – we just installed Google Drive on their Mac and just moved everything from the appropriate folder on their Mac to a suitable place on inside their Google Drive Folder, on a fast (100Mb synchronous) connection, and let time and Google Drive application do their work. "Job done…"
Problem 1: Images are over 2MB. Okay, so we'll shrink them…
…Eeeeeexcept they wanted to use the images immediately, as-is, in Google Slides and other Google apps. The very first image dropped into their new presentation was too big. It was either over 2MB, or over some arbitary pixel dimensions that the dialog box didn't tell the user about. So back the user came to our team asking what the heck was going on…
Looking at the relevant Google Support page for Docs Editors (as at 10th April 2015, and still not fully populated on 9th November 2015), one might think that just recompressing the images so they *just* squeeze under the 2MB size limit would be enough to comply. And indeed on this info, given the '000's of images affected, I sync'ed a copy of the affected Google Drive account to a spare Mac, installed Imagemagick (along with its numerous dependencies) and wrote us a bash-script. Looking at the fileset, I noticed that only the JPGs were over 2MB in size, so I found I could simply tweak the script to look for any JPG over 2MB and use Imagemagick's "convert" tool to resize the file in-place, then delete the old file to save confusion at the user end. The basis of the conversion was this command:
convert image.jpg -define jpeg:extent=1970kb image.jpg.smaller
Sure, we sacrifice some overall quality due to JPG recompression, and the script needs to take care of some housekeeping along the way. But having looked at a bunch of test-images side-by-side, we decided the work involved, and the results obtained were more than good enough for the intended use-case, and indeed any quality losses were barely detectable in >9 out of 10 cases even when pixel-peeping on a decent calibrated monitor. So on we went with the live dataset after many test-cases, thinking the job was done.
So with the results looking good, off I went to tell the user that the file conversions were done, the results looking good and let us know of any problems. Meanwhile we'll move onto the next tasks on our creaking lists.
Problem 2: File size alone wasn't the issue – pixel dimensions mattered too! D'oh!
Then the dreaded email pinged. Our poor user had tried to insert the first of the newly recompressed images and sure enough, it had failed to load, and again the same generic helpless dialogue box appeared. Not because it was a bad image itself – It's a perfectly valid JPG, and looked very nice, despite the high pixel count and our fears over high compression rates and known multiple recompression steps. These images are intended for end-use after all, not for further editing, and certainly not for anything other than on-screen use at low DPI output at long distance.
I had to confirm the issue for myself, dragging a JPG onto the insert image tool's "upload from computer" window finally got the Google Slides image tool to tell me that the image was too big, and finally it gave me the actual limits I was supposed to be working to.
Great. Now I need to go off and resize my images. Again.
So, off I went to find a new copy of the original images in their original folders (you do still keep backups of what's on your cloud storage, right?) Then I worked on a new script, that would resize the images to fit inside a 3500×2500 window, preserving aspect ratio, and would again work for GIF, JPG or PNG since those are all supported by Google Docs. THEN I ran the same recompression script as before on any files that were still too big after downscaling. Overall the process took much the same amount of time as the first run, but came with the advantage of the end-result overall looking much better up to the limits of the pixel dimensions and the file size.
Summing up
Some time on our end testing the full end-to-end process might have saved both us and the user some time and hassle, for sure, so my own lesson here is that some short-sightedness on our part for the sake of trying to "get back to other things" most certainly bit us all in the bum. In our defence however, the process would have been *much* easier had the image dimensions, aspect ratio and file size limitations all been given up-front, NOT just at the point of the image throwing up an error, but also on ALL appropriate import screens, and in accompanying documentation we can search from outside the situation the users face. Another couple of lessons both for developers and support folk here!
This week I've been playing with our recently acquired Revox B77 1/4″ recorder. It's a stereo half-track model, and I use it at 7ips. Currently I'm not sure what actual tape I'm recording to, as it's a 20ish-minute offcut from a reel that was found to be blank at the end of a transcription job. The two tracks presented here represent two very different production methods now open to me.
"Changes Afoot" was sent track-by-track to tape, from DAW, and back again, to produce a digitally mixed master. A couple of those tracks were recorded particularly "hot" to bring out more tape character. No noise reduction was used at all. Signal-to-noise on any single tape recording in this setup was was found to be around 60dB.
"Innocence 2010" started as a digital stereo pre-master that I was never fully happy with, which was sent to tape via a skunkworks noise reduction system I'm working on behind the scenes; the system is not yet complete, but has enough processing built to give a useful 10dB gain in signal-to-noise ratio without any significant audible artefacts, as borne out by the 69-70dB signal-to-noise ratio found in this setup even after peak-limiting.
I suspect the signal-to-noise ratio is limited by noisy pre-amps on my DAW setup; I'll need to swap to a different audio interface to confirm. That's something to play with another day. Overall I'm VERY impressed with the overall sound quality this kit is able to deliver, and the range of analogue "colours" it can provide. I'm really looking forward to finishing the skunkworks noise reduction project; I have my eyes set on somewhere near 24dB noise reduction once it's fully up and running. But it's good to prove that I can both encode and decode on-the-fly!
Watch this space!

I did't expect much of this title because it was a free e-book. However, I found it fun and entertaining. If you are a serious sci-fi fantasy fan, you may not like it. But, if wit and word play don't destroy a plot for you, this is a light read. I laughed out loud a couple times. It isn't meant to be a serious book, just fun.
Just silly and full of deliberately odd names and poorly developed characters. Would possibly be good for a very young kid, much too derivative and shallow for the adult reader who has read many of these type of books, I'm sorry to say i couldn't finish it.
Got this as a free ebook - hooked me in immediately and read it all in one day. Light hearted fun with lots of puns that reminded me of Robert Aspirin's MythConceptions series I had read as a kid! enjoyable for any fan of fantasy novels, it unabashedly pokes fun at itself. I would have paid full price for this book, and plan to buy the sequel.
If you enjoyed Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, you will love this comical fantasy story of Jason Cosmo. A woodcutter by trade, forced to be a hero by destiny and possibly a case of mistaken identity. As Jason flees his hometown of Lower Hicksnittle, he finds unlikely allies in a wizard, Mercury Boltblaster, and the seductive twins, Sapphrina and Rubis. A very entertaining tale with all the classic fantasy elements. 4/5
As an avid fantasy lover, I was a little skeptical when I first downloaded this free e-book after the last serveral were horrible. However, I knew several pages in that this was going to be a good read. If you are looking for substance, this book is not for you. This is a fun parody of every fantasy novel you've ever read. In fact, it pokes fun at itself, the reader, and the genre several times throughout the book. It does have a predictable (but whimsical) plot and stereotypical (yet believeable) characters, and the writing is fluid, if a little simplistic. All in all, I would have paid for this book, and I plan to get the next one when it comes out!
A fun hero who run amuck of a role he doesn't want. Enjoyable in its corny sort of way. I just love to keep reading it, even when I need to put it down.
This book was so funny, I literally found myself laughing out loud. I've always been a reader of the fantasy/sci-fi genre, it was so refreshing to read a story that was really & filled with humor. I will definitely check out the next one & other books by this author. Enjoy!
It was something to read and pass the time, but I am glad it was a free book. It took me a while to get into it, but I pushed through and it turned out to be an alright read. I am still undecided as to whether I should read another, because this is just the first book...
It is a complete fantasy escape from reality. Jason Cosmo is a little confused about his new hero moniker and not at all sure how to deal with the bounty placed on him. Thankfully, he soon partners up with Boltblaster, a wizard. I really enjoyed the book cover to cover. Humor in a book makes it a keeper for me. Take the time to read--the price is definitely right!!!
Great read. Will keep you turning pages and chuckling til the end.
Actually, a very enjoyable read! It was quick, well-written and VERY fun-loving and funny. Like snacks are to the palate, this story was for my mind! Relaxing, fun and funny. Put aside the over-serious world for bit and have some fun!
Poor writring
Absolutely fun, and cute. I've read it multiple times.

Men: Soda, Unhealthy Lifestyle Affect Fertility
Danish researchers have found that men who drink a quart of soda or more each day had a 30% lower sperm count than men who did not consume soft drinks. Those men were also more likely to live more unhealthy lifestyles that can lead to reduced fertility.
Dr. Tina Kold Jensen of Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, Denmark and colleagues studied more than 2,500 young men. The majority of the men didn't drink cola on a regular basis, and also lived more healthful lifestyles overall. Those men had a sperm count of 50 million sperm per millimeter of semen. Just under 100 men drank sodas regularly and also had a tendency to eat more fast food and less fruit and vegetables. Those men had only 35 million sperm per millimeter.
The counts are still considered within the normal limits, according to the World Health Organization, however, men with fewer sperm generally have a higher risk of being infertile.
The researchers did not find an association with the caffeine content of the soda and the decrease in sperm count. Coffee and tea did not lead to the same effect in this population sample, and previous studies have found conflicting results. Instead they felt other ingredients in the beverage, or because it was one factor in an overall unhealthy lifestyle, were the primary factors.
Many studies have shown an association with a healthy, well-balanced diet in the preservation of reproductive health for both men and women. A 2009 Spanish study published in the journal Fertility and Sterility found that men who ate more dairy and meat, and less fruits and vegetables, were more likely to have poor semen quality.
Infertility is a common problem, affecting an estimated 6 million American couples. Men who are ready to start a family should follow a healthy diet and exercise program to include:
• Eat plenty of foods rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants. These nutrients help prevent sperm defects and boost its motility (movement). An 8-ounce glass of orange juice contains about 124 milligrams of C. Aim for at least 90 mg a day.

This is crazy.
Agreed. I didn't hear anything on the call to warrant this. Some questions were a bit strange - some plain stupid - one guy asking if HFC will sell product into the east coast market. What an idiot. Someone else asked at what price they will buy back. Sounds like they were itching to short it. Jennings didn't bite.
Gas cracks were negative in Cheyenne in January but have improved, now at 10 bucks, all other margins are very good.
PS, the 3 that missed today, are all down close to 6%, the only difference here, is that the other 2 have been up substantially so this pull back for them is nothing over the past 3 days.
I did like the east coast one, shows these guys don't know their a_s from their elbow.
I didn't think it was possible but it could break the 200 day and still no comments from the analysts but I don't expect it to be pretty if the stock is trading down this much as they will get with their clientele and inform them of impending downgrades.
Are you as stupid as your post? What has cap + trade have to do with a new infrastructure to replace gas? If cap + trade were implemented today it doesn't replace infrastructure only the way we source gas/distillates. Stop trying to be something you're not, knowledgeable about anything. Do me a favor + put me on ignore so I don't have to see your ridiculous responses, better yet, I'm putting you on ignore. What research? T Boone wants to convert everything to natty, maybe you can espouse your 4 year thesis to him. It would take at least 10 years to transition to another supply source other than gas and where you got 4 years is beyond me unless it was from your butt just like everything else you post. The only thing your posts have are a lot of hot air, maybe you can transform that into a new energy source since you have plenty.
To be honest people like you make me sick as you have no agenda other than to berate. That being said, I'm tired of people like you that troll these boards to be nothing but irritants.
I'm a little taken aback by your myopic view only what you can see + hear today? The world is a tad more complex + looking straight ahead without looking to the sides can be dangerous to your portfolio.
What I stated wasn't an opinion but fact. Obama did try to pass cap + trade and failed. Obama is a staunt advocate of green tech + spent 1/2T of tax payer dollars + was at solyndra for its inauguration. They went BK by the way, thank you obama. The total we have spent on green shoots is unknown but well over a trillion. He has made it his mission for alt energy + has been on the stump touting solar. He stated when elected that the US would lead the way in this investment. Our solar companies are all in the red + China sells over 80% of all solar panels + wind turbines. So much for US leadership in alt energy and the billions we've spent. He stopped keystone, he stopped drilling in the gulf, + he's directed the EPA to scrutinize fracking and place further constraints on the refiners through further regulation and controls. As an investor in this segment, along with investments in drillers, I care about what's happening on the hill and what they do does impact us.
Pre, I hope and believe that was aimed at Mario by the tread display, cause I have nothing but respect for you, although politically some times were are at odds.
I have some Invision Solar stock because their product has a pay-off in five years for the buyer. Only solar company I know of that I think is viable.
I do that's why I came up with 1.05 while they had 1.20. I was also closer to the numbers over the past year. Do I think they know what they're doing, no + the proof is always in the numbers. Why do over 65% of the companies beat estimates because its a shell game + they're moving the shells. They can't predict crude prices today let alone 2 years from now. Look at earnings for the 1st, 2nd and the year, they're all up again and yet the stock price went down. Before its all said + done they will be well over 5/share for the year, another 1BB in net profit.
As for the political drivel, sorry but it is what I believe. Maybe I did paint an extreme but the general thrust is there. We can all be naive but the fact is obama did push cap + trade + backed off for political back lash. Once he gets reelected he won't care about back lash + we will see some form of it one way or another. That will have a major impact on refiner's, to what degree we'll just have to wait + see. Using ethanol is another example of a failed policy. The only losers are us. We lose cheap corn that costs as much to produce as it saves in energy. Solar, based on its own merits oil will need to quadruple to make it viable. Will all this happen over night no. Will it happen within 4 years, possible.
Here's my POV. What you or I believe is irrelevant. What is happening before our eyes and ears is what is important. And there is absolutely nothing to back up your beliefs except an ideology. And guess what that's worth - nothing.
Mario. Yes. The world is a tad more complex. Obama can stop whatever he wants all it will do is create gasoline lines at the pump. To change to another source of energy takes more than 4 years. You are speaking ignorantly. The infrastructure is set up for gasoline and diesel fuel. Migrating from crude oil and its distillates to something new like fuel cells is going to take at least 30+ years. So stop talking foolishly because you haven't done your research.
You act like this is the only time the fed made an unproductive investment in energy companies. What about the 30 years of pouring money into shale and other unconventional oil recovery? How many billions of $, how many companies, and whole communities formed around them, came and went bust in that huge spending binge?
You repubs have very selective memories.
Its not worth getting into politics but cap + trade 2 years ago was alive + well + the refiner's were justfiably terrified of its enactment. They would have to have credits for their emissions as well as credits for those entities that used their resultant energy. Basically, it would have done 2 things, forced major closures of US based refining as it would be uneconomical to produce in the states, + forced gas/distillate imports from countries that don't have cap + trade. Bottom line, gas/diesel prices in the US would have soared. Regardless of the political aisle you sit on, your + my investment in refining would have gone up in a puff of diesel smoke.

ManVsBeer (1729) Hebden Bridge, England | February 12, 2013
Theres two rows of ale pumps to choose from on the bar as you enter this pub servicing the south shore area of Blackpool. Its slightly inland after the first set of bed and breakfasts that frequent the area on the first main road away from the seafront, and close to Blackpool Football Club so expect it to be busy on match day. This place gets both locals and of course a fair amount of tourists in season. All the seating and furnishing is in its traditional wood appearance of this chain and theres a few sofa to sit on too.

This WP SpamFree plugin is a nice idea for defeating spammers, but it's not very robust. I subjected the plugin to some testing, and managed to defeat it with a commenting bot after only a few minutes.
So those of you who are using this plugin, enjoy it while it lasts. But once a significant number of people start using this, spammers will modify their bots to defeat the plugin.
I give proof here. The juiciest bits are redacted from the code so I don't give the spammers too much help, but you'll see how easy it is nonetheless.

Scandrick supported his claim by pointing out that he'll be 13 months removed from the injury when the season begins. Wisely, the cornerback has been patient in his recovery this offseason and hasn't tried to force himself back into action, keeping his eyes on a healthy return to training camp. His return can only help Dallas' encore after allowing the fifth-least passing yards in the NFL during 2015.
While he could be healthy enough to participate in some offseason activities, the Cowboys plan on treating Scandrick much the same way they treated Sean Lee the year before as he recovered from his own torn ACL, with a focus on getting him ready for the start of training camp. Lee came back and played 14 games in 2015, missing one due to a concussion and the season finale with a hamstring strain, so the team is confident that with a similar program, Scandrick will be at full strength for Week 1.
The Cowboys waived linebacker Jonathan Brown, wide receivers Antwan Goodley and David Porter and and tight end Brandon Barden. They also waived/injured defensive end Kenneth Boatright, running back Michael Hill and offensive tackle R.J. Dill.
Dallas also placed Orlando Scandrick on IR, Chaz Green on the PUP list and Mark Nzeocha on the NFI list.
Scandrick, who signed a one-year contract extension with the Cowboys, was carted off the field when his knee buckled during an attempted tackle in Tuesday's practice.
Scandrick recently reported to team workouts after a brief holdout that caused him to forfeit $500,000 of his base salary. The 28-year-old is expected to sign new his deal on Friday.
Arguably the Cowboys' best cornerback, Scandrick was scheduled to make $1.5 million this season and still had four years left on his current deal.
Scandrick recorded 55 tackles with two interceptions in 14 games last season.

Mountains and Valleys Lyrics
Artist: Petra
Album: Petra
Words and music by Bob Hartman
Standing high on a mountain, I can see forever
All the parts of the puzzle seem to be together
The sky is clear and the sun shines on me
The Lord is here and I'm feelin' so free
Walking through the valley, darkness falls around me
Walking through the shadows, evil things surround me
I'm not forsaken
The Lord is my light
I know He's making a way in the night
If you've never been in the valley
You'll never know
How high the mountain is above the valley below
When you walk through the valley
You've got to keep your head up
If you fall or stumble you've got to pick yourself up
The Lord is waiting to hear your heart cry
He'll always give you another try
Petra Lyrics

text: Home > Entertainment Erich in no rush to get married ABS-CBN News Posted at Aug 19 2014 12:16 PM | Updated as of Aug 19 2014 08:16 PM Share Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Pinterest MANILA -- Actress Erich Gonzales said her non-showbiz boyfriend is willing to wait until she's ready to finally settle down. In a recent interview, Gonzales said she still wants to do a lot of things before she walks down the aisle. "Hindi pa matagal pa, madami pa tayong gustong gawin sa buhay, alam naman ni boyfriend 'yan at kaya naman niyang maghintay," Gonzales said. Asked if they are now talking about marriage, Gonzales said: "Siyempre kapag usaping future kung sino ang kasama mo siyempre siya na yung nakikita mo doon, so 'yun pero hindi namin minamadali ang mga bagay bagay, enjoy lang." But Gonzales said she will continue to pray that her boyfriend will be her lifetime partner. "Siyempre ipinagdarasal natin ;yon," she said. In the interview, Gonzales stressed they are not yet engaged. "Hindi pa po ako engaged, ano pa lang mag-boyfriend-girlfriend pa lang, wala pang proposal," she stressed.

A scene from Fetish Auteur, where women go to lose their clothes.
Today I wanted to talk about Clips4Sale and what they've been doing for the past 10+ years. Frequently, we talk about amateur porn stars on this site, but rarely do we talk about amateur porn makers. Normally, when we think about amateur porn being made, we think of the boyfriend filming his girlfriend giving him a blowjob, and then later, leaking the footage on the internet. What started out as a keepsake for their memories, ended up being porn for the rest of the world. That's not what this site is about.

Bang Bus - Alex Harper
Today we're checking out a new girl Alex Harper. Besides being fucking hot as hell, she's new in a way that I haven't seen a lot of before. It seems like she's down to try anything at all. In the past few weeks, she's been in everything from face sitting, to bondage, to guys licking girl's dirty feet. If there's something that's in porn, I'm thinking she's trying it. Which is great if you're a fan of her. There's going to be a ton of shit that's she's going to do. But if you're not into fetish sites, you're probably not going to watch half of it.

Moms Lick Teens - Cory Chase and Kirsten Lee
Today we're checking out a new site Moms Lick Teens, a sister site to one of my favorites, Moms Bang Teens. Now, I've been a long time fan of Moms Bang Teens, so I'm really only expecting good things from Moms Lick Teens. If you haven't guessed what the site is about yet, it's the lesbian side of the coin, and guys don't really get involved on any level. Sometimes they use toys, but a majority of the time, I don't think they do. It's still very new though, and that could go in a different direction really quick. It's a lesbian MILF meets teen site. Don't worry about the age thing though, sometimes the women are so close, I couldn't tell which one was the MILF and which was the teen until they started playing their role. And while I'm liking everything I've seen so far, one thing has me worried..

Housewife 1 on 1 - Rachel Starr
Today we're looking at ups and downs of women taking initiative. Let's look at this example with the lovely Rachel Starr. Now, it's great that this man has a wife that thinks for herself and sees a car that needs washing, and gets out there and starts washing it. No problem there, right? Well, let's look as this example over a period of time. Given that it's a classic car, let's look at it over a period of 30 years. In those 30 years, comparing if only you washed your car, to only your wife washing your car, the car is going to have an average of 8.7 more deep noticeable scratches on the paint if your wife is washing the car. Now, you might chance it with her washing the car once or twice, but do you really want her doing it all the time?

Big Tits Round Asses - Kylie Page
While watching the RNC, I realized I wasn't watching our leaders talk about what direction they wanted the country to go in, I was watching what a bunch of talking heads thought about our leaders and what direction they wanted the country to go in. Ain't nobody got time for that. So I decided to switch which boobs I wanted to mindlessly stare at, and I found these great set of tits. Kylie Page is pretty much the girl I'm currently obsessed with. I think this is the third time in a month that I'm talking about her. Is it good to be this deep of a fan of one porn star?

Bang Bros - Layla London
A couple days ago, we saw a step sister that's all to willing to fuck her brother, and today we have the same thing. Which leads me to a question? Who's more likely to fuck you, a Catholic school girl or a step sister? The bad thing is, not everyone in the world is going to get a crack at a step sister. There's got to be a few conditions that come together nicely for it to happen. First your parents got to get divorced, then one of them has to get together with someone else, and you end up moving in with a new family. And the most important thing is, you can't be a sour bitch about the whole thing either. And if all of that comes together, the new family has to have a sibling that's good enough to fuck, willing to fuck you, cool enough to keep their mouth shut, and won't get mad about any future girls you bring back. Good luck with all of that.

Naughty Office - Jennifer White and Noelle Easton
With the RNC currently in full swing, a lot of us out there are currently thinking about what kind of America we want to have for our future. I for one, live in a state that always votes a certain way, and so it really doesn't matter what I want for our future, but I hope the people in the swing states get this one right. And by right, I mean whatever our porn stars are more happy with. Let's take this work place condition for instance. What America would you think this is more likely to happen in the future? Now you might say, don't the Republicans think that porn is a public health crisis? To which I say, yes. But, can't you see this happening in a Trump White House?

Sis Loves Me - Amy Summers
One of the greatest MILFs in the world got up and made a pretty good speech last night. And even though her speech writer might have lifted some of the words from the outgoing First MILF, I thought she did a pretty fuck good job. But it got me thinking a little. Not about the next President, or America or anything like that. It got me thinking, if she's clearly one of the greatest MILFs in the country, then who are some of the greatest sisters in the country? And why isn't there a porn category for sisters? Why isn't SILF a term? I mean, there's plenty of sites out there.. Why isn't it a full porn category yet?

Squirt Hunter - Aurora Jolie and Kelly Devine
I've always wondered a few things about squirt scenes, like.. Who do you think is cleaning up after the scene? And, do they ever donate the furniture that gets the brunt of it, to Goodwill or something? Do you think the wonder why they can never get that smell out of the couch? How many times can you flip a couch cushion before you just have too many stains and have to buy new ones? Do they have open accounts at the furniture store? These are all questions that come into my head every time I see a squirt video, so Squirt Hunter is really making me think.

Her First Anal Sex - Vanessa Bliss
By: Rex - Friday, July 15, 2016
Today we're wrapping up us learning about the wives that we're all connected to by law ( or we would have been gone a long time ago ). This time we're going to check out what you can do when you run into the problem that every married guy runs into after they have a baby. What do you do when her pussy is bigger than the width of your own dick. It really doesn't feel quite as good when you're just rubbing it on the sides, instead of squeezing it in there. But fret not! For every problem, there's a solution. And the solution for this problem is very simple.. just find another hole to stick your dick in.
